How to clean a microwave oven...

I’ve moved. Well, I’ve moved out, I just haven’t quite moved in.

After a few years of drifting aimlessly, staring out of windows at 1 in the morning, writing dodgy poetry and watching debts pile up, I decided to sell up down South and move back North and… er… well… find a life. You know, at 57, it sort of felt like time to do that… It’s taken 9 months and two aborted sales but I finally completed my house sale last week.

So – end of phase 1. What furniture I had after moving out of my second long-term relationship (and house) is now packed tightly in 3 crates in store (including the box with my mini-disk player, disks and favourite CDs that I carefully sorted out to keep me amused here – and then packed in the rush. Doh!) Now, as I type from a tiny room in a house share, (with a bathroom that’s smaller than a toilet on an aeroplane – I bent down to wash my face in the ‘basin’ and my bum opened the door…) it’s probably time to start on phase 2 and look to find that life. Nowt difficult in that, like - just find a job, somewhere to live, and a sexy loving partner - all 300 miles away. Shall I do it all next month, or take my time?

It’s an adventure, says my lovely friend in Morpeth (who has now just found the love of her life in a bloke called - it would be - Peter from Sunderland. Guess she’s off the Phase 2 short-list then…).

You’re doing something really positive now, says my ex-partner Sue, who I haven’t even seen for a beer in two years as she’s always far too busy. Oh aye…

You can pay us now then, say a long list of companies…

Still – at least it made me clean the microwave. It really did need it, mind…

...as at least I have some sort of job here that will pay the bills. Now I need to find some sort of job up North and then I can at least get back up there.

Or a rich widow... :-)

If you could tolerate

Maybe I'll contact Mr Gilwood and follow that up - houseshare, whatever - just to get me moved back up there. Mind, I have always had a hankering to live in Northumberland, maybe Morpeth way, but everyone tells me it's expensive.
